Steve Jobs described education as one of the final frontiers still untouched by modern technology. Clever (
https://getclever.com) is building the data platform needed to for great software to make its way into the classroom. Just like Stripe has made it simple for developers to build payment processing into their apps, Clever has made it easy for developers to build applications for schools using student data.
Clever is backed by top-tier investors (Ron Conway, Mike Maples, Mitch Kapor & more), so we’re lucky enough to have the financial freedom to build the company we’ve always wanted to work for. We get up to work every day knowing we’re working to improve education for millions of kids. It’s a cool job perk, way better than free meals (though we have those, too).
In just a few months, over 2,000 schools have come to count on Clever every day. Our growth has created some exciting problems around scalable systems, APIs performance, and big data sets. We're looking to add a versatile engineer to the team to take on a wide range of technical challenges.
Things we're looking for:
+ Experience with consuming and/or creating RESTful Hypermedia APIs
+ Experience with a variety of languages (we use the best tool for the job, everything from Node.js to bash scripts)
+ Experience scaling up systems including AWS and MongoDB
+ Ability to quickly pick up new technology and apply it effectively
What Clever offers:
+ A chance to revolutionize education
+ Competitive salary and significant equity stake in well-funded company (funding hasn’t been announced, but just ask if you’re curious)
+ Flat and close-knit engineering team with lots of peer code review and pair programming
+ Great benefits - healthcare, dental, beautiful office
To apply, email us at jobs@getclever.com. Send us one or more things from [resume, github profile, recent side projects, linkedin URL, Stack Overflow profile, etc], and include a note that shows you've taken a look at our APIs (https://getclever.com/developers/docs) - for example, what's the average number of students in a section in our sample data set?
This job is located in San Francisco, CA. You must be local or willing to relocate (we can help!).
